Wasn't about to do it sober, so we threw one back And somehow made it to heaven and I split it with Mac Yeah, my biggest pet peeve is how time flies Is it harder to keep a secret or to keep a surprise? I would have to say secret you could tell by my eyes And I'm gone and ain't nobody surprised Wish I could see me through my fan's eyes, hmm Because I live my lowest lows, but they only see my highest highs I get triggered by the sound of a metronome Make the whole city put a smile on Feel like, I did this on my ten-thousandth hour Nowadays, you gotta die if you wanna get your flowers Yeah, my palms sweating while I'm standing in my shower Lettin' all these bad thoughts overpower the nice guy For real, man You know that I got bad days too Where the room feels cold And the sky ain't blue And the nights feel long And the clock's like glue And my mic' won't listen And these thoughts feel true A piano loop and I'm back to my roots Keep it simple when I'm speaking the truth, aye A piano loop and I'm back to my roots Even the happy guy gets sad too, yeah I can't see the downfall of another hometown hero 'Cause that could be me Yeah, the whole world could see I can't see the downfall of another hometown hero 'Cause that could be me Yeah, the whole world could see Aye I watch people fall in love with the person that they pretend to be Things in front of me become a distant memory Damn, that long night in November almost put myself outta my misery And that's not even something that I told my parents 'Cause I didn't want 'em to be scared or embarrassed And if you're in my corner, then I'm sorry that you had to hear this But mental health don't really got no physical appearance I started taking life less serious Aye, I learned that less is more I vow to never take my life if you don't take yours I mean we both gon' be out there on the tours, hmm I'd rather live with the "Oh wells than what ifs" Listen close, who else giving you real shit? I never said I was a role model I don't think Superman would go and drink the whole fifth I can't see the downfall of another hometown hero 'Cause that could be me Yeah, the whole world could see I can't see the downfall of another hometown hero 'Cause that could be me Yeah, the whole world could see I can't see the downfall of another hometown hero 'Cause that could be me Yeah, the whole world could see I can't see the downfall of another hometown hero 'Cause that could be me Yeah, the whole world could see
